Lemon cakes with candied lemon slices

I have never candied my own lemon slices but I had these little ones just slightly larger than an egg and thought, why not? They add a nice sweet/bitter taste and look pretty.

 

In a 6 cup silicone muffin mould- bake for 20 mins at 180C

225g SR Flour

225g butter

225g caster sugar

4 eggs

1 tsp lemon zest

For the syrup

juice of 2 lemons

100g caster sugar

2 little lemons, sliced thinly 

bring all to a simmer until sugar is dissolved and lemons are soft. Pierce each cake and drizzle on syrup, then place a slice of candied lemon on each cake.

I'm not sure what has happened to my blog or why I post some photos small and some small, perhaps tomorrow I will look into this! x
